Auguri Kate

Oggi una delle più talentuose artiste inglesi compie 60 anni: auguri di buon compleanno a Kate Bush. Il suo repertorio artistico è enorme e le sue qualità, le sue capacità vocali, sono state ben accolte  già dall’inizio della sua carriera diventando il punto di riferimento per altri artisti. Il suo esordio discografico risale al ‘78 con la canzone "Wuthering Heights", una ballata che ha rievocato le pagine del noto romnanzo “Cime Tempestose” di Emily Brontë. Il suo repertorio include musica d’autore di alto livello, capace di richiamare sonorità etniche, comprendendo una gamma estesa di generi musicali, passando dal pop, al rock, alla musica folk. La sua estensione vocale ha contaminato intere generazioni di artiste, e ancora oggi si percepisce la sua impronta in diversi pezzi musicali. In altre parole, è un’icona nel mondo discografico e unica nel suo genere; è una donna talentuosa che è riuscita ad esprimersi con la sua Voce in modo genuino in diversi repertori unendo le parole in musica e amalgamandola con il mimo e la danza. Oltre a "Wuthering Heights", Kate Bush ha portato alla ribalta canzoni come: Babooshka, Running up that hill, Cloudbusting, Army Dreamers, The sensual world, Don’t give up, e tanti altre canzoni, impossibile citarli tutti in un semplice post.

 

 

Nel Taccuino trascrivo le Voci di due canzoni:

  

 

Babooshka

 

She wanted to test her husband
She knew exactly what to do
A pseudonym to fool him
She couldn't have made a worse move

She sent him scented letters
And he received them

with a strange delight
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears
And how she was before the years flew by
And how she was when she was beautiful
She signed the letter

All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!

She wanted to take it further
So she arranged a place to go
To see if he
Would fall for her incognito
And when he laid eyes on her
He got the feeling they had met before
Uncanny how she
Reminds him of his little lady
Capacity to give him all he needs
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
He shouted out, I'm

All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
All yours
Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

The Sensual World

 

Mmh, yes
Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes

He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out

To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes

And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words, just one kiss, then another

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world

And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes
I said, mmh, yes
But not yet, mmh, yes
Mmh, yes
Mmh, yes
